Childhood

A Memory of Mow Cop.

I was born at Mow Cop, on the Cheshire side! I have two brothers. One older & one younger. We went to Woodcocks Well junior & infant school. The infant class teacher was Mrs Lawton & the next class teacher was Miss Bailey. The head master was Mr Vernon Ball who lived in the schoolhouse attached to the school. Our playground was quite an adventure playground by today's clinical standards. OK he of our teachers, a Mr Axon, if my memory serves me contracted TB & so a mobile xray machine came to the school & we were all xrayed then given a BCG injection.

Out of school times our playground was by the 'castle' which is a local folly & on the castle banks. This was built by the local landowner a Mr Baker-Wilbraham as a summer house but was never completed as the doorway opened into Staffordshire & the landowner there, a Mr Sneyd claimed right of entry.
